Have you always used penzoil gas 15/40? maybe changing oil grade has brought on a lifter noise.

i just bought this car abt a month ago, and before that it was always serviced by a ford dealer, the bloke gave all the reciepts, i assumed ford would be using a 15/40 oil, should i try another oil.
used penzoil gas 15/40 as we use it in the au taxi which has 800,000 k's on it and still very quiet and smooth engine.

I would still point to a lifter noise, even though ford specs maybe 10w-40 as an engine gets older a thicker oil may be required to maintain pressure and lubrication through larger tolerances. If the engine was using a thicker oil say 20w-50 before, then changing to a thinner oil may bring on a lifter noise.

Hope its not your timing chain. Maybe the tensioners s**t itself, Giving you a chain type rattle. You will know when you get 6 dents in your bonnet, when your chain snaps and your cam siezes!

what is pre detenation? pre detonation is nothing. pre ignition is sponatiuos combutsion befor the spark plug fires and has a ratly sound like a can of marbles being shaken. detonation is sponatiuos combutsion after the spark plug fires and has a sharp metal on metal knocking sound |
